Peter provided some background to the discussion on the idea to reference the GILT metrics in the Trans-WS specification. Tony said he had concerns adopting a specification which was currently only a draft and had apparently not passed through a review process. Reinhard and Magnus said that they would not be in favour of referencing the draft GILT specification and, therefore, create a dependency of the Trans-WS TC work on a process and a specification over which it had no control - this could, at least potentially, cause a delay of the work of the TC. Stephen said he would prefer to work with the XLIFF count group, which offered an existing, workable solution which could be expanded on in the future.
Peter proposed to put the question on whether to reference and use the GILT metrics draft specification to a ballot. This was agreed.

4/ Review of specification
Peter will include comments submitted by Magnus in the current specification. Peter will then work with Magnus and Reinhard on a review of the specification.
The possibility of using and XML format for the document was discussed. It was agreed that work on the current specification should be finalized before a conversion of the document to XML (using DocBook format, XML Mind?).

5/ Review of charter
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/trans-ws/charter.php
Karl Best suggested to Peter to review the charter at quarterly intervals. Karl had planned to attend the meeting but was not present. The TC members will review the charter and discuss possible changes at the next meeting. 

6/ AOB 
Peter will not be able to attend the next meeting of the TC. Magnus will chair that meeting in his place
Magnus asked to check whether it is possible not only to submit but also to retrieve count info, according to the current spec. TC members will check this for the next meeting.
Magnus announced that TRADOS might use the Trans-WS spec in one of their major products to be released soon.
Peter invited TC Members to comment on the current discussion in OASIS to change its IPR policy using OASIS' website.
Reinhard invited TC Members to the LRC's upcoming annual International Localisation Conference on 21-22 September, University of Limerick, Limerick, Ireland. The topic of this year's event is Open Source Localisation. Both Peter and Tony will present on Open Standards. Other presenters will include senior representatives of RedHat, LinuxTag and IBM.

Next meeting: 16 September, 16:00 Dublin/London time
